Connect arrays and other storage devices to the SAN with or without multipathing

capability. The Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software is an associated application that is

bundled with the product name.

■

The STMS Boot utility is included with the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software that

manages the enable and disable process needed for SAN booting. Issuing the stmsboot

command allows the automatic update of /etc/vfstab and the dump conguration to

reect device name changes when enabling or disabling the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager

software. Note that the software is disabled by default with SPARC devices and enabled by

default with x86 devices.

Adding SAN Devices

Adding and removing SAN devices requires knowledge of the following commands:

■

luxadm(1M)

■

format(1M)

■

fsck(1M)

■

newfs(1M)

■

cfgadm(1M) and cfgadm_fp(1M)

Note – If you use the format command when the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software

multipathing feature is enabled, you will see only one instance of a device identier for each

LUN. Without the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software enabled, you will see one

identier for each path.

The cfgadm and cfgadm_fp commands are used most frequently to congure storage devices on

a SAN. Refer to the appropriate man page for detailed instructions about how to use each

command.

To Add a SAN Device

Create the LUNs desired on the SAN device.

If necessary, apply LUN masking for HBA control on the SAN device.

Connect the storage device to the system.

If necessary, create port-based or WWN zones on the switch on the SAN device.

Run the fsck or newfs commands on the device, if used for le systems.
